Is the lamp sufficient for a 60L aquarium?
I wanted to get a 60L NanoCube from Dennerle. I already own a 5W Leddy Slim Plant lamp from Aquael.
Can I then use the lamp for the aquarium or do I need a different one?

The 60 l cube of Dennerle has a height of 43 cm. Even if you assume that you will bring 6 cm of ground floor, then remain 37 cm height.
The lamp itself "weaves" even at least 7 – 10 cm above the water surface….
Staying from the light surface of the lamp to the floor about 40 – 45 cm. The lamp has only 330 lumens – this is clearly too little so that the light actually reaches the ground. So floor deckers and low plants do not get enough light.
So depends on what you want to cultivate on plants and whether they are planted, for example, in the soil or, for example, on wood or stones.
But overall it will be a rather dark aquarium
